Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“to place upon policemen acting in good faith the risk of personal liability if that official makes a negligent mistake.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““In sum, the complaint charges that defendants in good faith, but negligently, sought a search warrant upon an affidavit that they believed was sufficient . ; that as a result plaintiff was arrested and criminal proceedings were instituted against him . . The question accordingly is whether negligent conduct, often sufficient to create tort liability, and hence to support section 1983 actions, (cites omitted) should not have that effect, for reasons of policy, in the case of a police officer applying for a warrant.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““As a matter of general law, police officers charged with improper prosecution must also be shown to have been malicious.””
